Connector for reactance-coils.



be understood that my connectors may be employed in reactance coilswhich are wound in the form of a plurality of concentrically disposedhelices.

While l have herein shown and described one embodiment of my invention,it will be understood by those skilled in the art that variousmodifications may be made Without departing from the spirit and scope ofthe appended claims.

I claim as my invention:

l. A reactance coil comprising a pair of superposed and laterallyextending members, one of which is disposed near the top portion of thecoil and the lther of which is disposed near its bottom portion, aninsulated conducting rod supported by said inwardly extending members,means for electrically connecting the rod to one terminal of the coil,and terminals secured to the ends of' said rod and projecting beyond thecoil.

A reactance coil comprising superposed and inwardly extending members,an insulated conducting rod disposed -in the opening ot' the coil andsupported by said members, means for rod to one terminal of the coil,and termi nais secured to thel end portions of said rod which projectbeyond the coil.

3. A reactance coil comprising superposed and laterally extendingmembers, insulating bushings secured to the ends thereof, a conductingrod supported by said members and projectingr through said bushings,means for electrically connecting said rod to one of the coil ends, andterminals secured to the ends or' the rod which project beyond the coil.

Ll. A reactance coil comprising two pairs of supcrposed and inwardlyextending members, insulated bushings secured to the ends thereof, twoconducting rods spaced from each other and disposed in the coil opening,each of said rods projecting through a pair of said superposed bushings,means for electrically connecting the coil ends to the rods, andterminals secured to the ends of the rod which project beyond the coil.5. A coil comprising an electrical conductor wound in the form ofvolntions,

a plurality of con spacing members engaging the electrically connecting.said` tenerlas conductor, means for holding said spacing members inrigid relationship, a longitudinally extending metallic member disposedin, the coil opening, the metallic member being connected to saidelectrical conductor and provided at one of its extremities with:1n-accessible terminal to which an electrical connection may be madewith the coil.

G. 'A coil comprising an electrical concluetorwound in the form ot aplurality of convolutions, cleats engaging the conductor, means engagingthe end portions of the cleats to hold them in fixed relationship to oneanother, an insulated longitudinally ex tending conducting rod disposedin the coil opening, saidl rod being electrically connected, at one end,to saidcouductor and provided, at the other end, with an accessibleterminal by means of which an electrical connection may be made to thccoil.

T. A power-limiting reactance coil comprising a. conductor Wound in theform of superposed flat parallel spirals, radially eX- ytending cleatsengaging the conductor and spacing the convolutions thereoi.l from oneanother, a longitudinally extending conducting rod disposed in the coilopening, said rod being electrically connected, at one end, to saidconductor and projecting, at the other end, beyond the coil to admitelectrical connections to be made therewith.

. 8. A power-limifng reactance coil comprising an electrical conductorWound in the form of a plurality of convolutions, recessed cleats-adapted to receive said conductor, means for holding the cleats inrigid relationship, a pair of superposed cleats being provided withinwardly extending portions, a conducting rod disposed in the coil oening and engaging the inwardly exten ing portlons or' said pair ofcleats, means for electrically connecting the coil to said rod, andterminals secured to the end portions of said rod which project beyondthe coil.

ln testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 23rd dayof Sept.,
